Contribute to the Bulletin

The app is the only route

We take no submissions by email, by post or by form. A transmission reaches the bulletin one way only: you complete a session in the free æntenna app, record what came through as it ends, and tap Publish to One Mind.

That is not gatekeeping, it is the method. What makes this bulletin worth reading is that a number of people, in the same state, at the same hour, pointed at the same place, came back with the same thing. An account with no session behind it cannot be held against the others — so it cannot be printed.

How to contribute

1. Get the app

   æntenna is free, on iPhone and Android, and needs no account — it works the moment it opens. Get æntenna.

2. Sit a session

   The next one is on the first screen, and the Join button lights up five minutes before it starts. Free, from anywhere, headphones on. This is what happens in one.

3. Record what came, immediately

   The moment the session completes, the Avatar opens a recorder: speak it or type it, and correct the transcript if it mishears you. Do it before you discuss the session with anybody — once people talk, accounts start converging for entirely ordinary reasons, and the whole value of the method is lost.

4. Tap Publish to One Mind

   You are offered two buttons, and the difference between them matters. Save to Vault keeps the impression private on your own device — it never leaves your phone and we never see it. Publish to One Mind adds it to the shared body of impressions this bulletin is written from, and keeps a Vault copy as well. Only the second one contributes.

   Changed your mind later? Open your Vault, tap the entry and upload it then. The date, the session and your contributor name travel with it, so there is nothing to fill in and nothing to send us.

What makes a strong contribution

• What you received — in your own words, however fragmentary. Do not tidy it into sense.
• Anything specific — names, numbers, places, dates. Specifics are what make a transmission checkable later.
• How it arrived — image, voice, a knowing, a physical sensation, a phrase.
• Written while it is hot — in the minute after the session, not the morning after.

What happens to it

1. It is read, by a person

   Everything published to the One Mind is read. Not everything is printed — most sessions produce far more than the bulletin can carry.

2. It is held against the others

   A single account is interesting. The same account from six people who never spoke to each other is a story. We look for convergence before we print.

3. It is written up and attributed

   If it runs, it runs with the being it appeared to come from and the name of the æntenna contributor who recorded it.

House rules

Three, and they are not negotiable. Do not publish anything about a named private individual. Do not publish anything presented as medical, legal or financial direction — this bulletin gives none, and neither can a transmission through it. And do not embellish: a thin, strange fragment is worth far more to us than a well-rounded story, because only the first kind can be checked.

Credit and rights

Publishing to the One Mind is a deliberate act, and the app puts the terms in front of you before it will upload a word. In short: your impression becomes a permanent part of the One Mind, it cannot be withdrawn once it is up, and it may be used for research, analysis, publication and derivative works. Delete your account later and what you contributed is retained in de-identified form. Read that screen when it appears — it is short, and it is the actual agreement.

None of that touches your Vault. Vault entries never leave your device, so anything you keep there stays yours and stays private. And if you would rather appear in the bulletin without your name, say so — the contact address is on the about page — and we will run it anonymously. The full terms are the same ones the app uses: Privacy and T&Cs.
